Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Ashton: What’s this?
Ashton: We were supposed to celebrate National Fried Chicken Day on Friday. You didn’t think I was going to miss a chicken holiday, did you?
Newton: Is there any in there for me?
Ashton: Sorry, Newt, it’s empty. * chew chew * Nothing to see here.
Ashton: Chicken is a personal thing. If I shared with Newton, the next thing you would have known, everyone would have been in here wanting some.
Cupcake: I found crumbs!
Some of you asked about the image of me in front of a flag that displayed on our Independence Day blog post. Today’s outtakes are from the day we took that photo.
We don’t have a big enough flag at our house, so Cupcake went to visit a cat-friendly home decor store that happens to be next door to her favorite pet store. We found a large flag-themed wall hanging with raised stars and stripes.
Cupcake wasn’t interested in sitting in front of the flag. Where are you going, Cup?
It took some time and some bribery, but she eventually sat in front of the flag.
Then she didn’t want to face the camera. There were much more interesting to see down the aisle in the floral section.
Finally, Cupcake decided to look in the direction of the camera… sort of.
Cupcake: It’s a lot of work being a model cat! Don’t I deserve another treat for this?
Over the weekend, a dog came to visit on the coffee shop patio. She was a very polite dog, and she watched Cupcake in fascination without ever barking or whining.
Cupcake thought she would show her new friend how tricks are done. She gave her best fist bump.
Which meant she got a tasty treat.
Cupcake: Did you see that, dog? I’m not showing you again.
Then Cupcake went back to her dressing room — I mean carrier — for a well-deserved snooze.
Cupcake: Wake me when you have more treats.
Cupcake: Everyone says they can tell this is my new bag. I don’t understand how they can tell just by looking at it.
Cupcake: It’s smaller than the bag we take on outings now. All of my important things have to fit inside.
Cupcake: I think my blanket will fit in here.
Cupcake: Maybe it’s big enough for my treats, too!
Cupcake: I guess this bag will be OK. Time to fill it up!
